Book lovers, aspiring writers, and literary enthusiasts are set to ignite Grand Rapids with the very first GR Lit Fest - a free, seven-day literary and book festival designed to celebrate authors, readers, and the vibrant local literary community.
Running from June 16-22, this exciting new event will take place at multiple locations throughout Grand Rapids, bringing together indie bookstores and literary venues to offer a diverse array of bookish activities. The festival aims to provide a welcoming platform for all who cherish the written word, featuring Michigan-based authors, engaging discussion panels, reader gatherings, book signings, and a comprehensive book fair.
The festival's packed schedule includes events for all ages and interests, from a Kickoff Event & K-12 Book Fair and "This Book is Banned" author talks, to Poetry in the Park, Kids' Story Hours, and panels covering Fantasy & Sci-Fi, Mystery, Horror & Thriller, and more.
